Do you realize what you've done? You've removed the tiny bit of backing your opinion on each comic had. You've exposed yourself - you've basically admitted that you hate each comic not based on content or humor, but because you hate Randall. Or xkcd. Probably both. And thus your opinion is worthless.

Pulled it up from my Verizon Droid3 and get a strip that says "ERROR: YOU HAVE EXCEEDED YOUR VERIZON MONTHLY BANDWITH CAP. MOBILE WEB BROWSING HAS BEEN DISABLED."

Bandwidth was misspelled in the strip itself. I wonder if the spelling errors were just part of the rush to get all these out, or if there's a message hidden that reveals itself when your string the misspelled words together?

O my god, Randall, are you gone crazy?Without googleing the latest comic, I wouldn't have found out that you not only made different comics for different browsers / OS'es, but also different locations.And all that even though expecting about 1% of your readership to find out? or... maybe not? hmm.... maybe you expect your readers to do further research, when one doesn't get the point of the strip, so in my case it worked.I had fun, I hope other people will as well.Btw, excuse my bad english, I'm from germany and I liked the pun on the Berlin airbridge very much.regards and stuff...

Even that suits the point of the comic rather well - the people who came here for various reasons and learned that there were dozens of alternate comics... We're also just in another umwelt; there's more variables to how you experienced the April Fools comic than just the variables Randall and Davean put in the code

You must be new here. Welcome to the xkcd forums!

The microbrews, and variety of complex and flavorful beers vary much more in the US than pretty must all of Western Europe from what I understand. I guess what I might mean is "whatever 'real ale' is, I don't think I miss it."

I like to imagine the casual xkcd readers somewhere out there who encountered this comic outside of our analytical context.

A: Hey, you catch the new xkcd? I didn't get it.B: Yeah, it was funny because the snake had two heads.A: ...Wha? I just wanted to know what the weird white circle meant. So it's a reference to a snake?

When I read the alt-text, I honestly thought "Umwelt" was referring to how MIT students in different majors perceived the same environment differently, and then I came to the forums and found another layer of recursive meaning. This is the greatest comic.

Is there a place other than the Reddit thread where all of these have been archived? I saw a mention of a Google Doc, but didn't see a link to it. Hopefully there's a version that is as up-to-date as this thread is...

And, I wonder if the earthquake comic is viewable in every state, thus meaning there's 50 different versions of it?

Sorry for double post

Anyway... The Google Doc link is above, and a version of the comic appears to be viewable from each state, although some of the northern states use the aurora or lake diver killer strips.

Presumably the earthquake one is not viewable in California, or else the whole thing would have to be rewritten. At least, none of the browsers in any location I've tried returned the earthquake, from here in California.

Effort brings it's rewards, which is perfectly satisfactory.

Over the last three days I've greatly enjoyed finding out what friends abroad have seen (nothing that hasn't been posted here already) and the images posted on here. It's been a real treat.

I think I found a version no one has posted yet (unless I missed something in the previous pages) ! Seems to be a special version for France, using Firefox browser. I've been (figuratively) dying to post it here for 2 days, I've even registered to the forum for this reason... but... couldn't find out how you manage to attach images to a post... (by the way, could someone tell me how to do that ?)Anyway, I finally put it in a googledoc : http://tinyurl.com/xkcd-french

The strangest thing about 1037 is that it arrived on Sunday. When it appeared in my array of Chrome tabs I open every morning there it was so I assumed it must be Monday, but I checked, and no, it was Sunday. I can only assume it came to me before anybody else and that that can only be due to the fact that the server must be very close to me.

davevresk wrote:It goes further... in Safari the picture wont load and the alt text reads "... prescription to your web browser" not "... web browser size" but in Fire Fox it ha no problems. Also, you see a different comic the wider your browser window is. Well played

You must be talking Safari Mac, because in my Safari PC, it says "to your web browser size". In fact Safari for PC appears to be the same as IE8.

I can't upload de images or put the links because it's my first post, but in Safari (OS X Lion) or iPhone shows the tunnel, on FireFox shows the guy with electrodes in the head and in Chorme shows the snake, part of all of it if I maximized the browser, starting and ending with the guy and the gal.

Heh! Nice theory, but actually it really was posted on Sunday due to that being April Fool's.
